What You Can Expect From Yoga

Yoga has been practiced for over 5000 years, but has become very fashionable recently. Magazines and newspapers frequently discuss the myriad of benefits yoga has to offer. Practicing yoga develops strength, flexibility and stamina both physically and mentally. As well as toning muscles and extending the range of movement in the joints yoga also stimulates the organs, glands and nerves, encouraging and maintaining harmony and equilibrium in body and mind. Practicing breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques improves our ability to deal with stress, and the inevitable changes and challenges that occur in our lives.
